I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview process was surprisingly straightforward and simple. Much of that had to do with the great job of the recruiter and the flexibility of the hiring/interview team. I received email and follow up phone call from recruiter. She was extremely flexible and we had a phone screen that evening. She immediately moved me forward in the process and I interviewed with the team the very next morning. This took some flexibility but in short notice I met with key team members. I was continually kept abreast of the process and next steps, including the recruiters planned PTO, which delayed a follow up and in her absence I received an email from her colleague to touchbase. One of the best interviewing experiencing I have had in a long while.

Interview
All individual.
First to receive a HR call, which is the basic question and strength and weakness.
Then to interview with Senior manager
Finally interview with Partner
The questions are mainly on work experience and a few technical questions.
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
